vehicles, the parking brake must be set when the ignition

parking brake does not need to be set when the ignition
is off for the hatch/trunk release to operate. See Parking
Brake on page 2-32.

Press the hatch/trunk release button located on the rear

as you have your transmitter with you.
If your vehicle has lost battery power, open the
hatch/trunk using the vehicle key. See Keys on page 2-3

on the rear of the hatch/trunk lid above the license plate.
Turn the vehicle key clockwise in the lock.
Closing the Rear Compartment (Coupe)
To assist in closing the rear compartment lid of your
coupe, use the pocket on the underside of the lid on the
passenger’s side of the vehicle. When closing the lid,
lower it until the power pull down latch feature activates
and it will close the rest of the way and latch
automatically.
